Okay one last post before the race.

Hamilton's post quali interview broke me.

Maybe it's the realization that he really is leaving Mercedes for good, because Kimi was officially announced earlier that day. The seat he'd held onto for so long no longer being his.

He's won championships with them.

Lost his best friend when he was with them.

I don't know what else could possibly make a seven time world champion doubt himself like that.

And it's for that reason I genuinely hope that Ferrari does right by him next year. That the Tifosi show him lots of love and acceptance. That he and Charles get along and that their fans at least try to be civil.

That for once, Ferrari makes the two of them good cars and makes good strategy calls.

I might be a little dramatic, he is a veteran but he's still leaving his home in a way.

I might be asking for too much (It's definitely too much) , but I hope he never regrets the move to Ferrari.

Aston are giving Fernando everything except a good car. They are making him do silly stuff on tiktok more often now, let him customize his own aston martin like a kid in a toy box, and give him outfits that make him look like either a divorced alcoholic uncle at a family cookout or a sugar daddy mob boss supervillain to fuel his evil aura.

Its like Aston is dangling shiny keys in front of his face and jangling them going “Oo look nando new car, oo nando look a silly new tiktok idea!” to distract him from their incompetence. And the fact that its working is very hilarious to me.

btw the reason why max doesn’t drive as dirty against charles as he does against others is because he learnt at a very formative age that charles wouldn’t hesitate to literally divebomb him off the track

hulknussen core!!

...i just posted my first ever fic

if anyone reads it, pls let me hear your thoughts?? <3

Someone finally must have asked McLaren the right questions about Hungary!

Autosport have finally got to the bottom of it. Things we have all been saying since the race.

Andrea Stella admits thry didn’t have a plan that took into consideration Lewis and Max behind them.

Could you ever imagine Red Bull or Mercedes being caught out like that?

So they put the two drivers into a situation they hadn’t discussed. Lando found himself out in front and assumed this was what the team had planned.

And then the pitwall proceeded to not communicate this to Lando. And seemingly did not know how to communicate it.

So somehow the guy who is driving round at 300kph is left thinking he needs to up his game.

Being given position, with no prior plan of this and he is looking at catching Max in the Driver’s Championship, what exactly was he meant to think?

However, they realise, without all the information how can they expect either driver to just simply comply.

The fact that post race the engineers seemed to have a different understanding of the morning meeting than the pitwall mid race is scary as hell. No wonder Lando and Oscar were asking questions from the second pitstop onwards.

They might have been told post race they were free to race after the second pitstop but the radio messages and the fact Lando assumed they were in final positions after that point says otherwise.

Oscar and Lando are many things. Psychic is not one of them!

They have a shot at both championships. This is not a training camp, it’s happening now. This needs sorting out.

I know it must be hard for a team to publicly admit their failings BUT the whole world saw and heard them. At least they acknowledge it. Even if it has taken them all week.

My only hope is they have looked back on the radio messages and privately have realised how damming and manipulative they sounded and have addressed that.

charles winning A CASA NOSTRA (OUR HOME) as an italian tifosa will always be dear to me.

I love the fact that the Max-Charles-Pierre photo is actually the second pic, yet Charles put it on his instagram story. Charles literally put the Lestappen divorce to the grave not bed

This!

Charles saw the Lestappen divorce rumor and went "Not on my fucking watch".

watching the front positions of f1: Same 5 guys trading off finishing positions with each other every week

watching the midfield/backrunners of f1: Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon are roleplaying Javert and Hugh Jackman in a Les Miserables fight to mutually assured destruction over a no-points position. Lewis Hamilton is going to physically fight his own car to the death. Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo are going to physically fight each other to the death, but Daniel has a disadvantage because Lance Stroll has a sniper rifle aimed at his head. The Saubers are rewriting the federalist papers in the pits. Kevin Magnussen has planted a bomb on the track, and the blast has inevitably caught a Williams.

Max: are you

Yuki: Fucking

Max: kidding me. You

Yuki: FUCKING.

Max: idiot

Checo:. what was that..?

Yuki: FIA banned Max from swearing, so I volunteered to help him out.

Daniel: I think you just like saying the f word.

Yuki: That doesn’t make my job any less important.
